a) This isn't a fake news detector: at the moment, it seems to be little more than an overly complicated spreadsheet builder that's hosted on Github. Maybe someday it will be more.
b) The spreadsheet is just one man's opinions, and the opinions are quite frankly pretty poor. Antiwar.com is listed as a conspiracy site when it's just anti-war focused news and opinions. I'm sure they have their biases and opinions as all humans do, but you know that 100% going into a site called antiwar.com so should that qualify as fake? The only hate site is https://answersingenesis.org : maybe they're nutty creationists who are wrong about a lot of science, but hate? Really? I mean I'm willing to keep an open mind, but that doesn't seem accurate. Drudge is listed as a conspiracy site, when that's really just a news aggregator that links to anybody regardless of political bent. Lots of things like that.
c) The corporate mainstream media who posts a lot of fake news and establishment propaganda is nowhere to be found on this list. If anybody is labeled as fake news, why not the people who shilled for the Iraq War and WMDs or the people that told us that reading Wikileaks was illegal or the people who colluded with the Democratic party leadership to elect their favored candidates?
There are lots of legitimate sources in the author's banned list (see the .csv); it's better called a "News Sites Inconsistent with my Biases" detector.
